Many Massachusetts families will be getting together for a family meal on Easter Sunday. The holiday falls on April 20 this year. When looking at the calendar, Easter seems like it’s late this year compared to others, but the holiday will be here before you know it.
With a holiday like Easter, if you’re hosting it, you’re probably already aware of all the prep that goes into making the day and meal a success. Not only do you have to buy the main dish, whether it’s ham, turkey, or something else, but you have to make sure you gather all of the side dishes, desserts, and appetizers and then you have to cook the meal. In addition, if there are kids in your family, you have to make sure Easter baskets are ready. This means you have to coordinate with the Easter Bunny for delivery. On top of all that, you have to have your home company ready.
Preparing a holiday meal like Easter can be exhausting. Hopefully, you have some help from family and friends to pull it off successfully. I remember when I was growing up, members of my family would rotate years for hosting the holiday so it wouldn’t be the responsibility of the same person for consecutive years in a row. I always thought that was fair…
